Storyline
This film created in
1939, which based on the popular L. Frank Baum stories, The wonderful Wizard of
Oz. Dorothy and her dog Toto are swept away to a magical land in a tornado.
Here she meets some friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz
who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends
their goals of a brain, heart and courage.
Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing or adumbrating is a literary device in which
an author hints certain plot developments that
perhaps will come to be later in the story. It is used to
arouse the reader, viewer or listener about how the story will proceed and
mentally prepare them for how it will unfold. (from Wikipedia)
In The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy
and toto swept away to tornado, Dorothy said: “ Toto, I have a feeling we’re
not in Kansas anymore.” which means they are going to different world. So in
the window, I have chosen this quote to print on board as foreshadowing to hit
readers, the purpose is attracting people attention. when they see this quote, maybe will confuse why want to use this sentence, then people will to see peephole to look what it is. meanwhile, it give a foreshadowing/ message to hint people will enter into a fantasy and
imagined world, when they go into Bookstore.
And second scene is characters, when Dorothy follow the yellow brick road to go to emerald city to find a way to go back home, she meets new friends, no brain Scarecrow, no heart Tin woodman and cowardly Lion in her journal. They are going to emerald city together to meet wizard to achieve their dreams. To this one, The message is told people, sometimes, we awlays try to find or hope get somethings in our life, when we go into bookstore, maybe we can find answer in various books when we read them.
Poppy field scene from "The Wizard of Oz."
Therefore, I replace city with Waterstones building in Nottingham, to tell passer-by in Waterstones, there provide best and various books, people can get what they want from books in this bookstore.
